It took me five years to buy theDior Nail Glow polish.
When I first discovered it, I was a college student in Manhattan.

Instead of going to a nail salon, Id drag a friend to Sephora for DIY manicures.Cmon!
“DIOR” was stamped across the bottle, tempting the brand whore in me.
The label next to its little resting place on the shelf read $30.

(The polish is $32 now.)
After that fateful contraband mani, I went back repeatedly to use Nail Glow, dragging my friends along.
The women I catered with would look at me suspiciously and tell me I had nicer nails than them.
TheyreDior, Id say, picking up a tray of mini hamburgers, dead serious.
Purchasing Nail Glow was out of the question, though.
$30 was justtoo muchfor a bottle of nail polish.
That was more than I made in an hour of work!
Particularly the ones during which I freeloaded at Sephora during the day and catered at night.
Thats when it came flooding back:Dior Nail Glow!
I Googled it and watched as the juicy pink bottle loaded onto my screen.
It was just as I had remembered: bright, juicy, and fancy looking.And still $30.
I began to argue with myself.
Because nothing seems real anymore, I bought it.
It doesnt need any help, either.
Nail Glow stands alone.
You dont need a base coat or a top coatits meant to be used by itself.
When applied, it looks like the nails have been spit-shined by Rapunzel: enchanting and shiny.
Nonail polishhas left me in such awe since the “shattering” nail polish of 2012.
(But even one swipe will offer serious impact and glow.)
It also dries quickly so it doesnt need to be a whole production.
Give yourself a 15 minute window and youll be Gucci.
Well, in this case, youll be Dior, but you know what I mean.
I think my absolute favorite part of Nail Glow is that it doesnt turn yellow.
Not with Nail Glow, though.
And by through it I mean attempting to do 10 pushups a day and pretending to wash my dishes.
Remember, it took me five years to pull the trigger.
And yours can, too, for $32.
Of course, there are some alternatives to yield a similar result.
Now I think Ill go paint some Dior Nail Glow on my toes.
Oh, the places Ill glow.
That being said, it comes in a standard polish bottle with a brush.
Dior Nail Glow requires just one coat to get the promised brightening effect.
No top or base coat are necessary to achieve results.
Dior Nail Glow now sports new packaging and a $32 price tag.
